Get funding for your capital project
Building something specific — a development, a plant, a farm, a hotel? Project finance works differently from business funding. Clinq scores your project the way banks, DFIs and equity funds actually screen it, then shows you who can fund it.

Take the 2-minute project quiz
Five quick questions — stage, land, committed revenue, your own equity — and see instantly how likely funders are to back your project.
Get your Project Readiness Score

See who can fund it
Banks, DFIs, equity funds or grants — your report shows which capital route fits your project and exactly what to fix to get there.
Strong projects can add a Verified by Clinq seal — a hand-review by a Clinq Expert that funders trust.
Clinq for Funders
Investing your hard-earned money? See the full picture first.
Whether it’s an off-plan apartment, a stake in a growing business, or a local project — Clinq shows you what’s really behind the opportunity before you commit a shilling.
You’ve worked hard for your money. Too many Kenyans have lost theirs.
Stalled apartment blocks. Developers who never owned the land. Businesses that looked great on a brochure. When you invest as an individual, you don’t have a due-diligence team behind you — you’re often relying on a salesperson’s word.
Clinq changes that. We put the same verification that banks and professional investors demand into your hands, in language you don’t need a finance degree to understand.
What we verify
Before an opportunity reaches you, we’ve asked the hard questions.
Every project and business on Clinq goes through our Readiness Score — a structured check built from what professional funders look at before they commit:
Land and legal standing
Does the developer actually control the land? Is the title clean? We check for encumbrances, not just promises.
Approvals and permits
County approvals, NEMA clearance, construction permits. Verified documents, not “in progress.”
Real progress
How complete is the project, honestly? What has the sponsor put in from their own pocket?
The numbers behind the pitch
Do the financials add up? Can the business or project realistically deliver what it's promising?
Track record
Who is behind this, and what have they delivered before?
One score, full transparency
Every opportunity carries a Readiness Score, so you can see its strengths and gaps at a glance — and read the full report before you decide.
How it works
Three steps to investing with your eyes open.

From off-plan units to growing SMEs, every listing shows its Readiness Score and stage.
